I've never really been much into things like virtual reality games and the helmet-like displays they use. But, here's a cool display adapter from Second Site made especially for Pocket PCs that you wear just like a pair of glasses.
"Second Sight is a portable High Res viewer, designed for Pocket PC handhelds. Second Sight connects directly to virtually any CompactFlash or PCMCIA slot. Our software allows for full VGA screen information (640 x 480 pixels) to be displayed on the Second Sight display. If your application demands higher resolution then you can get with a standard PDA, Second Sight may be the perfect solution."
This is being marketed as a tool for viewing full-size documents while mobile, but I keep thinking about how great this would be for playing games on the Pocket PC. (Of course, my idea of "hot" gaming on my Pocket PC involves Scrabble or Monopoly...) What do you think? Would you use something like this?
